Possible roles of bilirubin and breast milk in protection against retinopathy of prematurity

Aim:  To explore the association of serum bilirubin level and breast milk feeding with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants. Methods:  We conducted a case–control study to examine the independent and combined effects of serum bilirubin and breast milk feeding on ROP risk in infants...
